¶14

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State along with learned counsel appearing on behalf of the complainant.

¶15

The learned counsel for the petitioner, at the outset, submits that petitioner, being husband, has been falsely implicated in the instant case by the complainant. It is next submitted that petitioner is always ready and willing to restitute his conjugal rights. It is also submitted that petitioner will go to the parental home of the O.P. No. 2 on 01.07.2024 to fetch her back to her matrimonial home.

¶16

The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the O.P. No. 2 submits that even O.P. No. 2 is willing to

restitute her conjugal rights, it is next submitted that if the petitioner comes to fetch the O.P. No. 2 back to her matrimonial home, she will accompany him willingly.

¶19

The learned counsel for the petitioner, at this stage, submits that O.P. No. 2 was married to a different person earlier and after his death, the petitioner, knowing the said fact, married her and even took the responsibility of two children from her first marriage which amply demonstrates that petitioner is more than interested in reviving his conjugal relationship.

¶20
